  Great options for "econobox" - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Clayton - June 1 - 1:10 am

  This car is miles above others in the compact segment. The power is adequate but leaves something to be desired. Other than that, no complaints. Looks at every stoplight.

  08 Lancer - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Lancer - April 3 - 11:50 am

  I love this car. Its my first "new" car and for the price I am 100% satisfied with what I got. I love the sound of the mivec when you get on it a little. There has only been a couple things I dont love about my new lancer: I wish the 5 speed had another gear; when I am cruising at 70 and my rpm are just over 3k, I feel like I am straining it even though Im not. (it does have some crazy response in 5th though, jumping up into the triple digits with just a little push!) and gas mileage could be a little better especially with the way prices are going. But in all, Im very happy with the car. Its a joy to drive every day!

  The car is a great choice for the money. You get great performance with awesome comfort. It is a sports car that is a great family car. I got the silver with everything except the navigation.

  Definitely built with consumer in mind! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By AP in KS - February 27 - 4:46 pm

  I was in search for a car that I didnt expect to exist: sporty enough to meet my high standards but would work for a future family car. That is just what I found in the new 2008 Lancer! We added the Sun and Sound package which is really fun for summer driving! Talk about built with the consumer in mind! Everything about the car, from displays and gadgets to handling and mpg, this car meets every one of my needs and wants!! The bluetooth, steering wheel controls, and multi-dash display make for a very safe and forward facing drive. This car turns heads more than my Eclipse! I absolutely love to show this car off, inside and out!

  Great Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Nate - November 24 - 2:53 am

  This is a great, fun car. The GTS model with all the toys is the one you want. The GPS navigation is easy to use, the Bluetooth is a great convenience, the 18 inch wheels give this car a fantastic look. I just wish this car, the GTS variant that is, was given more power and I do agree with another reviewer that it should be about 10-20 more horses. Despite that, the car handles greatly thanks to a solid chassis that also is begging for more power. Honestly, with the Electric Blue Pearl color, I am also getting thumbs up everywhere I go.

  Never looked back! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By LovelyNurseLindy - November 15 - 1:56 pm

  I did my research and test drove a lot of cars. This car is by far the most car for the money! I got a loaded Lancer for the base price of other brands (altima, etc.). Ive had my car for 4 months now and I am very happy with everything! Love the car, especially the extras. Get a lot of looks on the road and family and friends love it! I havent looked back since I got it. It makes driving fun again.

  Lancer GTS is a Fun Vehicle to Drive - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By terrynconnct - October 19 - 11:20 am

  The vehicle has a unique look that sets it apart from other vehicles. It has a great pickup for a 4 cyl 2.0 engine and with the optional paddle shift, it provides even greater excitement. The on-board LCD display with GPS navigation and high end sound system just adds to greater enjoyment.

  I wasnt looking for a new Lancer - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By tgriffaton - September 20 - 1:26 pm

  I wasnt looking for a new car, but a deer convinced me to look for a new one! So I headed over to the dealer... wow!! Love the styling of the inside and outside. Car shifts great, the handling and feel are much better than my 2004. This car is a head turner!

  Lancer GTS is a great car for the price - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By AaronB - May 30 - 9:40 pm

  I did a lot of research before I decided to buy this car, and I couldnt be happier with my decision. You get a lot of car for your money. Some decent factory equipment (unfortunately mine didnt come with the nav system). Surprisingly comfortable for a small car with a driver whos 62 (3 inches of head room). The new exterior redesign is just awesome. Really a fun car to drive. The only real complaint I have is that this car could use more horses.

  Amazing Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Brian - April 2 - 12:26 am

  I have wanted a Mitsubishi for a few years now. I am in college and I had an 04 Mazda3. We had so many problems with it, it was time to get rid of it. I saw the new Lancer and I fell in love with it. I am a red guy, so I saw the commercials with the Rally Red Metallic paint job and I fell in love with the car. I needed the Sun and Sound Package for sure. The navigation was a little too expensive for me, but the car is great without it. Within a week of looking at them, I bought one. I have the only Rally Red Metallic GTS CVT with the Sun and sound package that was available in the state. It was very hard to find, but the salesman did a great job at getting it for me.
